First Things to do as a New Member
- View the training video on the Flight Log System that is used to check aircraft in and out of the hangar.
- After being approved for membership by the Board of Directors, you will need to attend the next general membership meeting (see the club calendar for dates). You can schedule planes and start flying after your check-out immediately after board approval, however you must attend the next general membership to be introduced, and voted in by the club membership.
- Setup a time to meet with your sponsor (any existing club member). Don't worry if you don't already know a club member, we will find a sponsor for you. Your sponsor will show you around the hangar, answer your questions, and make sure you understand the procedures for reserving, checking out a plane, refueling, and post-flight cleaning.
- You will need to get checked out by a club approved CFI for all models you intend to fly. Schedule a club check out flight(s) with a club-approved instructor. For each aircraft model, you'll have to fill out a data sheet prior to your checkout flight(s). Checklist and POH are on the fleet page. Print out the check-out documents and bring them to your club check out session.
